SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,586, dated June 3,1884.

Application filed November 3, 1883.

ful improvements in window display-frames,

which consist in arranging the frames in alternate tiers, one above theplane of the other, in a window or from the ceiling of a building.

The object of my invention is to display clothing, fabrics, and drygoods separate and distinct from each other in a window or with in adry-goods store, and, further, to suspend such goods in such a mannerthat a free circulation of air passes in, around, and among them, thateach can be readily moved without interfering with the adjacent article.7 I attainthese objects by means of the peculiar construction andarrangement of the different parts of my device, which will be morefully pointed out and described in the specification and claims,reference being bad to the drawings accompanyingthis application andforming part of the same, in which- Figure l is a perspective viewshowing my device attached to the ceiling or to the upper casing of awindow. Fig. 2 is a sectional View of the same, showing the partsattached to a strip or board, the same being secured to the ceiling.

Similar letters refer to similarparts throughout the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the ceiling in a store orbuilding where goods are usually displayed or sold; or it may representthe under frame of the top part of a windowcasing designed as ashow-window in said store or building. Attached to said ceiling are aseries of eyebolts, c, which are formed screwthreaded on their ends andadapted to screw into said casing or ceiling, said eyebolts being (Nomodel.)

arranged in line and at any suitable distance apart. Hangers orsuspension-strips a a a a a are formed of wood or metal and of differentlengths and of any suitable shape, preferably square. One end of each ofsaid hangers is provided with screw-hooks b, that are adapted to hookinto eyebolts c, and by which said hangers are suspended, as shown inFigs. 1 and 2. The opposite ends of said hangers are provided witheyebolts I), having circular enlargements of sufficient size to admitthe rods 03, which are rounded in form, and of suf ficient length toextend from one hanger to another and project a suitable distanceoutside of each, as shown in Fig. 1. The pur-.

pose of this construction is to suspend for inspection or displayarticles for sale, such as clothing and dry goods. Instead of theeyebolts 0 being screwed into the ceiling, when desired, they arescrewed into strips B in the same manner as into the ceiling, and thestrips B are secured to the ceiling or window-casing by screws or bolts,thereby placing the hangers and rods in any desired position for disply- When desired to be used for small windows, the hangers may be securedby eyebolts to a single strip or board, said board being secured to thewindow-casing at the top. By this construction my device is light andportable, being easily adjusted to any required position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim ,and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

In a device for displaying goods, the hangers a aa a of, formed ofdifferent lengths, and having screw-hooks b and b and cross-rods d, oneabove the plane of the other, in combination with the eyebolt a, securedto the ceiling, substantially as shown and specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
